RQD is an acronym that stands for Rock Quality Designation. It is intended to give an indication of the quality of a rock mass (the number of joints and fractures). It is derived based on the quantity of intact pieces from a drill core that are greater than 10 cm in length as a percentage of the total length of the core or core run.
